Hello,
First, let me introduce you on how I got into reverse phone search area, then I will tell you how our team did the reviews.
A couple years ago, right after Christmas, a person called me around midnight almost every night, as soon as I picked up the phone, he hang up the call. A few more calls later, I felt very disturbed.
After talked to my parents, I calmed down and started to do some detective work. I traced the calls through BellSouth, it came back as a cell phone number with no name associated with it, BellSouth won't provide any further info beyond the phone number.
I was so curious to know who owns this phone number, I went to Google and Yahoo, I found many free sites can help me with it. I searched for hours on these free phone directory sites such as whitepages.com, anywho.com, addresses.com etc, but I couldn't get any results. It turned out cell phone numbers and unlisted numbers are not searchable on all these free sites.
Finally, I had enough. I paid $60s to a site called Cell Phone Numbers, which promised to locate with 100% guaranteed. It was a ripe off, they didn't find anything about the number. After I did more research and reading, I found CelllphoneRegistry.com they showed me the finial results before I pay. At Cellphone Registry, not only I found the person who annoyed me, with a few bucks more, also I found a lot background information about him from date of birth to his race, his work, his marriage status, and his sex offender and criminal records.
My initial need for this service eventually leads my strong interests in investigating many companies offering reverse phone search services. I compare their features and results, it amazed on how much information you can find at the right site, and how few information you cannot find at the wrong site. Remember, all the information obtained from these services are legal. Please read my FAQ if you are new to this search.
Several years ago, only federal government agencies. licensed private investigators, and police detectives can access this type of data. With the newly passed laws, some of these databases are available online, regular folks like you too can locate or investigate practically anyone - a potential date, a neighbor, a lost relative, a friend, or new job applicants. The access is 100% legal, you could have access to research tools to obtain information in the United States, UK and Canada.
You must have seen many websites or ads claimed FREE reverse phone lookup, most of them won't go beyond what you can find on your local white pages and a few years back. If you really want get your result, you have to pay them a premium service, which is a link to the paid websites.
The databases on these white pages are not updated in real time. Many phone directories are not linked their database to real time information providers. They only update their database once a year, they buy database from different companies. It cost a lot of money if they update it too frequently. As a result, not only the data is in accurate, outdated, or incomplete, sometimes, they provide false information.
Also, cell phone numbers and unlisted numbers are NOT listed on your local white pages.
Here at Wireles-Providers.net, my team and I investigate and practically dive into each well known reverse phone number websites or the ones just come out.
We tested over 59 of these companies. Based on the accuracy, speed of the search, and features offered, we selected the top three sites as our choice in reverse phone number search business.

Another nice feature Reverse Phone Detective has is Online Privacy Protection package. With $4.95, they can help you to remove your personal information from public data sources, so that others cannot access it.

Reverse Phone Detective's customer service is second to none. If you don't find what you're looking for, give them a call or email, their staff will be happy to assist you at no extra charge.

If you only look up phone numbers once a year, or if above information is good enough, With $14.95/per request, Reverse Detective is your best choice.
However, if you are looking for deep background information beyond the basics, you can get them by paying a few dollars more - depends on the type of background information you want to get. The next two sites offers more background info.

CellphoneRegistry.com Review: This is the official website of National Registry of Cellular Numbers (NRCN). Its database consists of 252 million cellular numbers, 1.4 billion landline numbers, and 17 million unlisted numbers. Each day, they add about 30,000 new numbers to their database.
Don't be fooled by its name, Cellphone Registry has the largest database of landline numbers. Cellphone Registry generates very accurate search results. What amazed us is Cellphone Registry has the most up-to-date database on cellular phone numbers. In our testing, we put in a wireless phone number only registered last week, it returned the search result accurately.

Cellphone Registry doesn't offer one time search price options, this is one of the reasons why we did' t put it on the top of the list.

One thing I like about Cellphoneregistry.com is its free preliminary searches. You have nothing to lose. If you cannot find any records for the specific phone number you entered, you don't need to join or pay anything. On the other hand, if you do see preliminary results found for the number you queried, you will have full access to every detail of that record after you join.

ReverseMobile.com Review:Reverse Mobile remains one of our top three favorites because of its top speed and good results. Plus Reverse Mobile also offers extensive background check.Best Features: Speed, good result, background check, covers U.S.
Reverse Mobile is a light weight and fast Cellphone Registry. Its speed of search is the best, 2rd to none. The results it generated is very accurate like Cellphone Registry.. On our test, it comes with 98.6% accuracy on business and commercially, 97.3% accuracy on residential, and 95.6% on mobile and cellular, and 98% on unlisted.
Don't be confused by the name of the site. Mobile and cellular reverse lookup is only part of its service, not only you can reverse lookup cell phone numbers, also you can reverse lookup commercial, residential, toll free, and unlisted phone numbers.
According to Reverse Mobile's recent updates, they have phone records covers more than 70% of all cellular numbers and over 95% of unlisted phone numbers in the US.
The cost for Reverse Mobile is $39/year UNLIMITED search. You get a report on cell phone or carrier info, date of birth, age, gender, the issuing location of the cellphone, current and previous names used, if he owns any properties or professional licenses, his family, relatives, and neighbors list, also, you get a 20 year addresses the phone owner lived in the past.
Here is one drawback we've seen in our most recent testing on hundreds of unlisted numbers. 98% of the unlisted numbers we entered, Reverse Mobile got it right, but a few of them only returned the last name of the person, it prompted us to choose the first name from several choices. If I am checking a stranger, then I wouldn't now his first name.
Search through Reverse Mobile :
Two honorable mentions: ReverseRecords.org, PhoneNumberScan.com,

This is where ReverseRecords.org comes to play. You can find him at ReverseRecords.com if you got the guy's license plate number. Another feature is very attractive. If you have an address and wonders who's living in that address, it offers this reverse lookup too., Also at ReverseRecords.Org you can search the person through email address, SS#, and of course, phone numbers.
ReverseRecords.org results on phone searches are not as accurate as the Top 3, but it complements several niches not covered in the Top 3.

If you plan to do many reverse phone lookups in the future, this is a good deal in the business. The drawback is they don't offer background check. The database is mainly built from public available sources and magazine subscriptions, so the search result is not very accurate and comprehensive.
